Explanation:

<em>1. "stood like a pillar of cloud torn"</em>

Figurative language: <u>a Simile.</u>

Meaning: A Simile is a figurative language that makes a comparison between two things of a different kind to make a vivid description using 'like' or 'as'. In this example, the author is comparing someone who stood to a 'pillar of cloud torn'. This compares how unadmiring a torn pillar of cloud is with the way the person stood.

2.<em> "faded banners of the departed summer ancient blood-stains against the dark-blue sky" </em>

Figurative language: <u>a Metaphor</u>

Meaning: a Metaphor is symbolic (non-literal) comparison of an object or action with another thing, action, or idea in other to explain an idea. Hence, the expression, "<em>summer ancient blood-stains" </em>refers to horrific events in the past that resulted in <em>"dark-blue sky"</em> (or grief).

Are we too dependent on computers?
Pie

Answer:

Computers make life easier and due to this they have increasingly been put to use and easily found their way into the lives of people.There are various reasons that led to computers being put to maximum use by people. This is because they enable people to do their work while at home, people are able to socialize with those they have never met, and also contact friends and relatives who are living far. As humans continue to use computers, they get addicted to them, and are unable to lead lives without computers. This is because their whole lives depend and revolve around computers.

Please help!! Which sentence does not contain any errors? A. Let's each try a bite of Wendys' vegetable dish. B. Whose red socks
mojhsa [17]
A is wrong because "Wendys'" should be "Wendy's", because the possessive isn't plural.

C is wrong because "Its" should be "It's", because "It's" is a contraction for "It is."

D is wrong because the apostrophe should be after "judges", not "statements." Statements do not own anything, but the judges own the statements.

B is the correct answer.
